Sensaphone Model 400 Manuale Proprietario

Chapter 5: Alarm Programming

67

This chapter explains the alarm programming and monitoring capabilities 

of the Model 400, with specific instructions for the following features:
• Configure zones as dry contact or temperature
• Enable/disable zones
• Program alarm Recognition Time for each zone
• Program high and low temperature limits
•Disable alarm response to high or low temperature
• Program temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius scale
• Calibrate temperature
• Obtain current temperature
• Program AC power-failure Recognition Time
• Enable/disable AC power monitoring
• Program sound level sensitivity 
• Program high sound Recognition Time
• Disable alarm response to high sound
• Use Exit Delay via Status Report

In preparing the Model 400 to sense an alert condition, the zones must be 

configured as dry contact (either open or closed) or as temperature zones. 

The default setting for zone 1 is temperature; for zones 2-4, the default is 

dry contact and open. To configure zone normality, sensors are first wired 

to the terminal strip at the back of the unit. (Refer to Chapter 2, Section 

2.9–2.12, for an explanation on wiring zones.) 
The configuration process directs the Model 400 to initialize the 4 zones 

and establish normal settings. Any change in the status of a zone (for 

example, from a normally open contact to a suddenly closed contact) is 

recognized as an alert condition. In the case of a temperature zone, an alert 

condition is recognized when established temperature limits are exceeded.

NOTE: Before starting keyboard commands to configure zone normality 

on the Model 400, it is very important to check that the sensors you 

have wired to the unit are set in their normal, non-alarm positions. For 

example, if a magnetic reed switch (a normally-closed sensor used to 

detect unauthorized entry) has been wired to the Model 400, make sure 

that the door or window to be monitored is shut before configuring the 

zone. If a motion-detector is wired to the unit, it is advisable to block all 

sources of motion from the sensor before and during configuration.
